PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan has reported that the first production test\nof the Libo SE #86 well in Siak Regency, Riau Province, yielded up to\n1,274 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) in early 2026.<\/p>\n
General Manager of the Rokan Zone, Andre Wijanarko, said the\nachievement was exceptional as production results showed a zero per cent\nwater cut, meaning the hydrocarbons extracted were pure oil with no\nwater contamination.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis achievement is tangible proof that with technological\ninnovation and the hard work of PHR personnel, the Rokan Block still has\ngreat potential to support Indonesia\u2019s national energy security,\u201d Andre\nsaid in a statement on Monday, 16 February 2026.<\/p>\n
He explained that PHR applied precise and innovative technical\nstrategies to maximise potential in the Top Menggala layer at a depth of\n5,680 feet, with maximum permeability of 2.2 Darcy.<\/p>\n
Key technical factors behind the success included selective\nperforation, a method of selectively perforating the well casing to\nensure oil flows from the most productive depth points in the reservoir.\nAdditionally, ESP pump optimisation was employed, using submersible\nelectric pumps at low flow rates tailored to the well\u2019s optimal\nproduction characteristics.<\/p>\n
Advanced equipment was also installed, comprising a combination of an\nAdvanced Gas Handler (AGH) on the subsurface pump and a Gas Separator at\nsurface facilities to ensure stable oil flow despite gassy\nconditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis success is a good start. PHR is committed to continuing to\nincrease national oil and gas production through sustained drilling in\nthe same area. Currently, the field team is moving quickly to drill the\nLibo SE #88 well at the same wellpad,\u201d Andre said.<\/p>\n
According to him, there are four additional wells to be drilled\n(infill drilling) as a follow-up to the successful drilling of Libo SE\n#86, with the aim of maximising oil potential in the Libo SE area.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope that going forward, PHR can continue to demonstrate\noperational reliability whilst maintaining HSE standards for energy\nsecurity,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pertamina-hulu-rokans-libo-well-production-test-yields-1-274-barrels-per-day-1771308715", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
